From Pathway to Expressway: A History of the Sauk Trail

The Sauk people once followed a trail across Michigan’s Lower Peninsula to Ontario, Canada. The Sauk Trail led westward all the way to the Mississippi. It became the Chicago Road and eventually US-12—the main road between Detroit and Chicago. Join us for an entertaining history of this transportation highway. Presented by John Geisler, Western Michigan University.
